OT – Images out of Word Document

[Chris Tompkins]

I really hate it when they do that.

Try dragging them from the word doc page onto your desktop.

Hi Chris,

Thanks.

I’m actually using Neo Office [the Open-Source version of Word] and your suggestion doesn’t work, unfortunately.

Thanks,

Wayne

Copy from word, paste to any picture editor like photoshop.

For some reason, that didn’t work last night – but voila, it works today.

Even into Preview.

Thanks a lot,

Wayne

The other way you can do it, without resorting to using the clipboard, depends on whether the software you use can save as the latest Word .docx file format. You’ll also need to have a software utility that can handle .zip files (Stuffit on the Mac, for example, or something like WinZip if you are playing on Windows).

Save the file (works even for older .doc files too) as a .docx file, then in Finder, change the file extension from .docx to .zip.

Once you’ve done that, unzip the file using whatever your archive software is on your chosen platform. In the resulting folder, you’ll see another folder called Word and inside that another folder called media – all of the graphics in your document are all sitting in there in their original formats and resolutions, ready to use.
